Your 2013 Green Bay Packers

[Cheesehead Craig]

Smith = Harris. Shows you what a merry go around the Packers backfield is.

Monte Ball is a much better runner in 2012 than what he was in 2011. His offensive line wasn't as good, but his ability to break tackles and keep his balance in the open field was almost 100% better. He is receiving threat out of the backfield, decent at blitz pick up, and can run through tacklers. He isn't going to be a burner, but few are. Again he runs a sub 4.5 he will go some where in the second round, if it is above a 4.5 I expect him to go in round 3

+1 on this.

Ball had a much worse OL this year and became a better back. Nutz is dead on with his assessment here.

But is he injury prone?

Who isn't? I know, for instance, that your mother is prone to vaginal injuries.

I picture Nutz sitting at a desk with a bottle of whiskey and a pistol on his desk, typing this shit up.

You are just a little rough with the her....that's all.

As for the '13-'14 Packers

I think they need in an interior OL, WR, DE, DT, ILB, OLB, SS, and maybe a CB who can play zone coverage. I don't recall how many draft picks they get -- I'd think 8 or 9 -- so we'll see what gets addressed.

I think Driver, Jennings, and Saturday will be gone, Woodson and Benson are probably gone, and Hawk, Walden, Starks, and Finley are all 50/50.
As usual, guys towards the bottom of the roster like Boykins, Ross, Moses, Zombo, MD Jennings, et al. will have to fight to make the squad. G.Harrell should get pushed by Coleman for the #2 QB spot.
Sherrod will have to show something in camp or he's in danger of becoming the OL version of Justin Harrell in they eyes of many.

Some of the young players will make 'the leap' and some won't...Worthy's game was based on quickness and I worry about the knee injury affecting him there. If Perry can figure out the OLB spot then either Walden or Moses can be the backup - which is what they are. I have no idea if Terrell Manning can play ILB or not, if McMillian will avoid becoming Atari2.0, or if Datko can stay healthy and play OT. Feel free to jump in with your own observations.

Getting Bishop back will help the defense. Looking back at the losses (SF, SEA, NYG, MIN, SF) they were physical battles, and addressing that plus improving the depth (bigger, faster, better instincts) would make those closer battles.

Don't worry, it's just a product of your poor education.

Ball is slower than Jerry Ball. He's not gonna run sub-4.5 unless he's guided by 100 MPH wind. 4th-6th round pick.

If Thompson is going to draft an overrated Badger RB, wait til 2014 and draft James Fucking White. That guy is as fast as fuck.

[LegandofthePack15]

Well, except maybe Tim Tebow has a weak arm so he's unable to make many of the throws of an NFL QB

Don't underestimate the power of Tim Tebow.

[Bretsky]

My guess is Ball runs in the 4.62 area and goes mid third to mid fourth; I'd still be game for him in GB
